At 3.15 p.m. on Thursday a third party called Houston Police saying a person had been shot outside an apartment complex in the 3800 block of Bennington.

Micklos Smith said he was standing outside the apartment with the victim around 3 p.m. when three men in a beige Lincoln drove up on them. A man wearing a red bandana across his face then exited the vehicle, and shot the victim with a shotgun, before returning to the car, which sped away.

Mayra Perez, 29, said the man shot was her 22-year-old brother. She said he appeared to be shot in the shoulder and would be OK.

The victim was taken from the scene by EMS responders. His condition was not known.
